The Church of Scientology in partnership with Tennessee
United for Human Rights will hold its annual
Nashville Celebration of International Day of Peace in mid-September. Tennessee United for Human Rights (TUHR) has held an event
for International Day of Peace for many years,
each with a different theme related to the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights. TUHR promotes human rights education as a way to combat ignorance and
increase awareness.
During past Peace Day events, a different human right has
been the focus. Past themes have included religious diversity, human
trafficking awareness, and domestic violence education.
“Each year we focus on a human rights issue that needs to
be brought to light. This year we will bring
together the community to speak and learn of peace on a universal level,” says Rev. Brian Fesler, regional
coordinator of the Tennessee United for Human Rights program. The theme this
year is the Art of Peace, and will see the announcement of the annual Human Rights
art contest with artists beginning their work right at the Peace Day event.
International Day of Peace was declared by the United
Nations General Assembly as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace,
both within and among all nations and peoples.
The Peace Day event will be held this weekend in the Nashville Church of Scientology community hall.
TNUHR is a chapter of the international organization United
for Human Rights, formed on the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights to provide human rights resources and educational materials to
all sectors of society.
